Smoothie bowl goodness

20/02/2017

Hey! I hope Monday treated you well.

For me it went really fast. It was like – wake up, dress up, clean up the house, and then puff-it’s evening already! 😀 Of course, I did a bit more than that, but let just say I let myself rest a bit after working the whole weekend.

And today I felt that I wanted something fresh and colorful to eat, so smoothie bowl seemed like a good idea. Besides, spring is just around the corner (hopefully) – and it is a good way to incorporate more light meals into your diet.

A what-you-have-in-the-fridge smoothie bowl:

a packet of frozen fruits (I used 150 g of mango, papaya, pineapple)

a handful of frozen raspberries

a good splash of almond milk (adjust it to your liking)

1 tsp peanut butter

a bit of agave syrup

Toppings:

almonds (or any other kind nuts)

coconut chips, or shredded coconut

a mixture of seeds

fresh berries

…whatever you like 😉

You put all the ingredients for a smoothie in a blender and blend until smooth. Simple as that! 😀 Oh, and I suggest you invest in a good blender, because mine is not so good and there might have been some f* words spoken today as it didn’t want to blend properly. I guess the blades are too small, and they do not chop frozen fruit very well – so for me it took a while. However, when your smoothie is ready, put it in a nice bowl, add some toppings, drizzle with some liquid honey or agave syrup, and voila!

Nommmmm… This was exactly what I needed. Felt like a fresh start. I hope it will last, haha. I am eager to make more salads and plant based meals this week, so wish me luck!
